  7. Coach,

    Great programming, seeing some great results. Quick question, I compete in Firefigher Combat Challenge Competition about once a month and I was wondering if I should do my skill work and sport specific metcon in addition to the training here or replace some of the metcon work on here with a sport specific metcon? Thanks

  9. Part 1
    Runs felt good
    HSPU - 91 Reps
    Did 10 unbroken reps on the minute through minute 7. Then fell apart and did all 2's and 3's. My goal was to complete 10x10 in 10mins. Next time?

    Part 2 later

  10. 2011 Part 1 Runs done.

    Need to make up the HSPU practice tonight.

    (Difficult to find a place both to run and do HSPU's in Manhattan without making too much of a scene.)

    Ten WOD's this week. I think if I make it through Sunday, I'm pretty much on my way.

  11. 2011:

    Part 1:

    Didn't have time to take 4 min rest b/t sets so I ran on treadmill at a 5:45 mile pace for a minute and walked for a minute x 8

    10 minute rest

    Part 2:
    A: 205x6, 225x6, 245x6, 265x4, 275x3, 275x1 Tempo killed grip on these.
    B: 165x3 all sets
    C: No GHD so I locked heels under a bench and did negatives. 12 reps x 5

    Coach,

    Due to time constraints I usually can't separate my workouts by 4 hours, or for more than about ten minutes for that matter. I have been doing them back to back and just wanted to make sure that this is the best method. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Runs felt good. Rest time was perfect. did HSPU's on the min.
    5,5,5,4,4,3,4,3,3,2.

    Part 2:
    A. 155,175,185,195,205x5, 205x5.
    Ok I'll buy the straps.

    B. HHPS 95,105,115,120,120.
    felt good.

    C. 3 sets of 15. Saving the hamstrings for soccer match tomorrow. not sure how to do it with bands. If anyone has video could you link to it?

  13. Did Saturday's triple for 2010 prep

    Part 1
    Barbell Complex, 5 sets; rest 3 min

    Power Clean x 1
    Squat Clean x 2
    Split Jerk x 3
    Front Squat x 4

    155-175-185-190-195

    I figured my upper limit would be around 185-190ish, so I'm pretty happy with that. The cleans weren't too bad but by the time the jerks came around it was gut check time. Split jerks were a little wobbly, but I got em. One second rest or so between split jerks at heavier weights to reset feet.

    ------------
    30 min rest
    ------------

    Part 2.
    For time:
    1k row @ 90%
    20 Muscle ups
    1k row @ 90%

    10:38

    Row 1 - 3:33.2
    Row 2 - 3:39.5
    One failed muscle up at rep 12, threw me off a little, but got back into rhythm.

    ------------
    45 min rest
    ------------

    Part 3.
    30-25-20-15-10-5 UNBROKEN reps of:
    High incline situps (subbed for GHD)
    DB swings, 70#

    10:29

    Ontario Challenge events were released today.
    http://elementcrossfit.com/index.php/challenge/59-element-crossfit-challenge/931-ecf-ontario-challenge-2010-events-announced

    Any thoughts/input appreciated. Should be a fun day!

    2011: Part 2
    A SGDL: 80/90/95/100/100/105kg (231#) - Brought straps today. The last time we did this with 4s essentric movement about killed me.
    B HHPS: 60/65/70/76/80/82.5kg (181#) - Back was burning but they felt easy today!
    C: GH Raises: 5 rounds - 60 second rest, had to get back to work.

  17. Runs felt good averaged about 260m per minute. Didn't rest the full 4 minutes due to time constraints just walked back to start and went again, was about 3 minutes instead of 4.

    HSPU practice did about 25 which is good for me. Gillian you are seriously a beast I love it. Realized I need to go faster and that makes it easier instead of such a slow eccentric.

    Part 2 after work...

    Roch thanks for your concern. Porter is recovering well he is a tough little man!!

    c.12,12,12,8,10
    Agree with PTS time to start using the straps. I haven`t used them in about 5 years.

  20. Lisa.....
    You are SO right that you need to go faster. That was the best piece of HSPU advice Brett gave me. Try not to "look for the bottom", just drop (and I use this term loosely:o) and then push out of the hole. I went from struggling to get 2 or 3 to getting 7 in a row just by working on this.
    Oh and nice to see you posting again :o)

  21. finally at the gym 2day...

    A- SGDL @6011- 225x6/ 275x4 x3/ 275x6/ 300x4
    B- HHPS- 135x3 x5sets
    C- harop curls- x15 x4 sets
    D- HBBS- 275x5 x10sets, 60sec bw sets
    E1- strict covp pu- 21/ 17/ 16, 60sec
    E2- barbell pullovers- 135x5 x3sets, 60sec
    E3- ghdsu- 25lbx10 x3sets, 60sec
    F- tabata behind head clapping pushups- 80 (10 all sets)

    grip was by far the limiting factor on SGDL... it's getting better, but still a long way 2 go... perhaps straps if this comes up again...

    mayb the run later 2night... time for meetings...

    C. 12 reps with red band x5 (1/2 inch) - and I didn't strangle myself! :)

    the DL with 4 reps were due to bad tempo. the gym was 29 degrees (no AC) and my legs were so sweaty it kept slipping down and screwing me up.. solved that by chalking my legs!
    took the weekend off and rested and iced my rib/chest issue, and it seems to have resolved.. really happy. felt fast and strong today.

    Part B (did first due to gym availability):

    A. 155x6, 185x6, 205x6, 226x6, 235x5, 245x4
    B. 135, 115, 115, 115, 115
    C. 25lbx15, 45lbx10, 25lbx13, 25lbx12

    A. felt great today. Much better the second time around, vs. last week.
    B. just didn't feel right at all, so I kept it light. Shoulders felt wonky at the top.
    C. a bit too ambitious with the 45lbs. Love it, though.

    Part 1 (8h later):

    Ran on treadmill at 3% @
    6min/mi
    5.5min/mi
    5min/mi
    5.5min/mi
    HSPU practice

    Lotta work to do here.

  30. Runs felt good.
    Had to cut HSPU practice to 5 minutes because my shoulder started to hurt, got 30.

    A. 135, 155, 175, 185, 195, 205. That tempo was a killer, my hands are smoked.
    B. 120 on all
    C. Back extensions done on a swiss ball, I ordered my GHD last night.

    I need to be more consistant about posting, I don't miss the WODs but I don't take the time to post. I know Molloy I will work on it.

    A2. UBx6
    B. UB/10,8/10,8/12,6/12,6/12,6

    So yeah....I obviously misunderstoo the "wave load" which was kind of sucky. I was actually glad when I found out I did it wrong because I almost passed out and thought I should reconsider what I'm doing. I get it right next time...on the bright side I got in a helluva lot of front squats.

    Part 2

    Rows
    1. 269
    2. 276
    3. 259
    4. 260

    Had to skip part 1. I am in and out of the field (army training) all summer and it is very hard to fit everything in. I am trying my best though, despite a brutal schedule and less than ideal sleep.

    So Part 2:

    Hey Jay. No we will not be going down there this year to watch, are you going? Roch and I will be heading to CT, for Rob O's strongman comp. More fun to go and compete, it was amazing to watch Roch last year and I am sure it will be unreal this year again. Hope to see you in CT for the strongman, if not then see you in Burlington sometime in September. I will come and train forsure :) LuLu

    B: 9+3/9+3/7+5/6+6/6+6(went to failure with the band then finished the set without it)

    Part 1;
    Runs were ok last 15s every set were tough, maybe pushed the 85% a bit.
    Part 2
    A. 177,187,192,197,207,207 6 reps for all.
    B. 110,120,125,130,140(2) felt ok, just need to work my o-lifts more.

  46. 2011
    p1: Completed runs. HSPU: 10 strict reps during break, including 2 reps on my first set (new PR, feels so awesome to string 2 together!)

    p2.A: 135#/140/145/150(5)/150(4)/150(4)
    B: 75# (3x5)
    C: 6 reps(thin rubber band)/13(thin latex band)/14/9/12
    Notes: On A, grip was weak link, kept strict tempo. Grip improved when I held a narrower snatch grip(between two grooves on bar).

  47. 2011
    Part 1
    Runs between 300-320m. Easy except the last two where I probably exceeded 85%.

    One more day of rest from pushing so no HSPU, thus no 10 min rest.

    Part 2
    A. 135/185/205/225/245/265 x 5
    B. 95/115/135/145/155(f-2)/135
    C. No Bands; subbed weighted GHR @ same tempo: 25#/35#x4

    Notes: Grip limiting on SGDL with no straps. Next time will strap to push the weight a bit higher. Still slow under the bar especially at higher weights.
